A dormitory manager buys 38 bed sheets and 61 towels for $791.50. The manager get another 54 bed sheets and 50 towels for $923 from the same store. What is the cost of one bed sheet and one towel?

Let s be bed sheets and t be towels. We have two equations:
  1. 38s + 61t = 791.50
  2. 54s + 50t = 923
Using our system of equations calculator, we get:
  • s = 12
  • t = 5.5
